The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008 by Lolita Lempicka, Fleur de Corail is a fragrance that combines the freshness of citrus and tropical notes with the warmth of amber and musk. Perfumer Maurice Roucel crafted this Oriental Floral scent to evoke the essence of a vibrant coral reef, where grapefruit and bergamot mingle with frangipani and orchid in a sunny, powdery embrace. The driftwood base adds a subtle earthiness, grounding the composition without overpowering its floral heart.
Apply two sprays to ensure that the bright top notes of grapefruit and bergamot have enough time to meld with the warmer heart and base. Given its moderate longevity and sillage, it’s best worn during the day when you can appreciate its evolving character throughout the hours.
